Venus is the second planet from the Sun and is similar in size, mass, and composition to Earth. However, Venus has an extremely hot atmosphere composed primarily of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that traps heat from the Sun, causing surface temperatures over 400 degrees Celsius. Venus lacks water on its surface due to the water having been broken down by sunlight and the hydrogen swept away by solar winds. The surface is a dry, desert-like landscape that is periodically renewed by volcanic activity.
4. It is a rocky planet and
terrestial, often called the sister
planet of earth,as both are
similar in size , mass and
composition , although totally
different in thermal and air
issues.
5. Venus orbit is an ellipse with
eccentricity of less than 1%
forming the planets; just over
Neptune.
6. Despite not being closer tot the
sun than mercury, venus has
the hottest atmosphere, as this
traps more heat from the sun
because it is mainly composed
of greenhouse gases such as
carbon dioxide.
7. To be closer to the sun then
Venus Earth(Is an inner planet)
altohougot all planetaey orbits
are elliptical,Venus ‘s orbit is
more like a circle, with less than
1% accentricity.
8. The water has most probably
photodissociated,and,because of
the lack of a planetary magnetic
field,the free hydrogen has been
swept into interplanetary space by
the solar wind.Venus’s surface is a
dry desertscape interspersed with
slab-like rocks and periodically
refreshed by volcanism.
